Hamburger Helper

Hamburger Helper
I've just become aquainted with one of my neighbors through a mutual friend (Sue). The Nieghbor's name is Galina, she's Russian but was married to a Motswana but tragically he died in a car accident about five years ago. Anyway, she didn't have any money to have a birthday party for her three year old son, Enrique. So Sue and I volunteered to help her. I was to make the cake and Sue brought party snacks. Well, the cake turned into about a 6 hour project and I imagine the party snacks did too but never mind that, if you could have seen the look on Enrique's face when he saw me walk up to the gate with a cake that was half his height, mommy cake, MY CAKE. Well, the little birthday party turned out really nice. One of the gifts Sue brought was face paints, so everyone had their face painted starting with the birthday boy. Then another mom came and her present was a plastic golf set, so that was a real hit too. So we ended up with party games. The snacks where great too and I think everyone had a good time.

Hamburger Cake! Picture of the cake just finished in
my kitchen.
